HDMI-Fiber-Extender DVM-HDF4 from Sommer Cable

Share this Post:

STRAUBENHARDT-CONWEILER, Germany Current HD picture signals are demanding and require a high data rate. Transmission distances beyond 10 m are therefore often fraught with problems!

More details from Somer Cable (www.sommercable.com):

With the new HDMI®-over-FIBER system from German manufacturer CARDINAL-DVM signals with a maximum resolution of 4K x 2K – including RS232 and infrared data – can be transmitted hassle-free over distances of up to 300 m via an OM3 multimode line.

The robust and compact housing (known from the DVM-120 active series) is available in two versions:

  • as stand-alone housing with the dimensions of 68 x 36 x 145 mm
  • as installation housing to fit into the modular SYSBOXX frame or the 19“ SYSPANEL 5XL panel for audio distributions

The connectors for the power supply, HDMI® and IR/RS232 have been designed as robust HICON all-metal versions and are thus perfectly suitable for the tough use “on the road”. For the reliable connection of the FO cable we offer a version with the proven HICON-FIBER4 fibre-optical connector and a second version with a NEUTRIK OpticalCON DUO socket.
